Abstract
An ion implantation system for neutralizing the space charge effect associated with a high current low energy ion beam. The implantation system includes an ion source configured to receive a dopant gas and generate ions having a particular energy and mass from which ions are extracted through an aperture. A work piece positioned downstream of the ion source for receiving the extracted ions in the form of an ion beam. A bleed gas channel disposed between the ion source and the work piece. The bleed gas channel supplying a gas used to neutralize the space charge effect associated with the ion beam.
